Updates & Happy Holidays!
It's that time of year again when everything is coming to a close & a new year is getting ready to begin, I have to say this years been so so, not the greatest but pretty good none the least.
We had a lot of sad times this year, let's start back at the beginning....
Jan - Was a so so month, after all it was the one year anniversary of losing my Grandpa who was like a father to me, it was hard but we got though it, still hard today but getting by....
Feb - Month of LOVE! ~ Hubby & I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary, it was a pretty good month, cold out snow all that fun stuff but we realized out fav times are with one another watching movies & just hanging out, we don't need to go out places & spend a lot of money to have a good time. Each other is enough (and of course gaming with great friends)
March - Was a pretty busy month getting things still on the go with renovating, I was still not working but hubby is cool with that, so I had been working on the house & playing online games while hubby was at work & when he got home we spent time together. This month I had finally got into a clinic for some check ups, found I weighed 250lbs and 51 inch waist....
April - Hubbys BIRTHDAY! ~ Was another good month, busy but good :) Hubby also was told about a new job with 100% medical as a Security guard, like the job he was doing at the time but had more perks and the benefits for both of us and any kids we have, so he went for it.
May - Hubby starts the new job, great month, he can work 4 days a week 10 hr days, which is perfect, means more us time which we enjoy :) ~ Still busy with home renovation stuff exp since spring started some what earlier then normal :) But this was another sad month due to a friend of ours who passed away unexpectedly :( ~ We miss you William ~ xo
June - Hubbys Job is going well, my health been doing A LOT better, things are going well :) ~ Busy with renovation stuff still, going to be til Spring 2010.
July - Check up for me, things are going really well, busy month :)
Aug - BUSY - Hubby got all his gear for his new job, but sad month also, Grandma died, she broke her hip & pretty much gave up, we knew she did when she said she wanted to be with Grandpa, she passed in her sleep. :( ~ I couldn't make the funeral due to lack of funds since hubby started his new job, but Grandma would of understood.
Sept - still a busy month and sad times, Hubby & I spent a lot of time together
Oct - Busy month but the wedding of my brother in law Forrest & best friend Mandy :) ~ YAY! ~ Busy is never ending ; )
Nov - Busy month of Thanksgiving, work and house stuff = STILL lol. But good news is only rooms left are Kitchen & Basement.
Dec - Many birthdays!! Our family/friends: DeeDee, Mikeal, Vince, Mom, Dad whew many many EVEN MINE! It's been a busy month & sad around my birthday since I was so used to my Grandma calling every year on my Birthday for the last 28 years and then bam, no call. It was hard but got though it thanks to my wonderful hubby & friends :) ~
Been great month though, got some great things from Hubby, family & friends. Getting ready for Christmas, planning on Christmas eve with my father in law & his gf then spending the night at my mother in laws so we can wake the next morning for Presents & Breakfast instead of doing a Christmas dinner type thing.
This past weekend we did a Christmas D20 game with a TON of our awesome friends & I made ham, turkey and tons of other food (still have left overs) ~ After dinner we played KILLER BUNNIES & CAR WARS! ~
In between all the doc apps I been going to making sure my body is doing alright & be sure I am in check after losing about 45lbs & 15 inches, Hubby & I are hoping for a clean bill of health to see what we can do next before starting our family since we wanna have 4-8 kids um yeah we wanna make sure we are healthy :)
Hubbys off new years eve, we where planning to invite a few friends over for movies or maybe one of the guys at his work plan to do something, either way we can't wait :)
Also thinking of getting rid of the phone & going with something more simple, no one calls and the only time we use it is to talk with people about the games we play with them which is rare since we use the online method 99% of the time over Pardus or Facebook. We will only call people when we actually have something to talk about, no point on sitting on the phone & talking when we have nothing to talk about, hubby & I said that months ago :P ~ There is only a few folks worth talking to anyways.
We can't wait til the spring, comicon & friends coming in from outta town to go with us, more friends here to come with us, going to be very exciting. New year new things, hope good things exp with docs apps and getting things on track, I hope to be my skinny self I was by the end of next year since I only got about another 50-60lbs to lose at most. I have a feeling its gonna be a good year.
Only thing hubby & I want for Christmas is to get the news all is okay & we can start a family soon :)

Tired, Stressed.... Sick.....
Well this past weekend was fun, hubby and I spent alot of time watching movies & Farscape. Went to a comicbook convention Sunday, but the guy that sold us a comic cough'd & sneezed all over us then finally covers his mouth & says sorry. UGH! GROSS!
Now hubby and I are both sick, tired, and stressed cause we have alot to do on the house before spring, I know this cause his dad tells me everytime I see him which is like everyday & getting very stressful.
"You guys need to finish getting things done, getting rid of the junk you don't use and packing up what you wont use til you move"
and I tell him the samething everytime.....
"Yes I know Dad, I wanna get things done on Joel's days off cause it's easier having 2 instead of one person but it's hard to get things going"
I mean sometimes I have plans to get all this stuff done but when I see hubbys tired and wants to relax, I don't say anything ... why because he works all the time and deserves that time to stand still for a bit. I know his dad is wanting rush rush rush and get everything in motion but thing is, I don't even know if hubbys ready to get a new house & have kids sometimes, he says he is but actions speak louder then words. Some days hes great and things are going well other days he acts like a child himself getting pissed off over little shit, I think it could be all the stress from his dad, work etc etc, dunno. I seriously don't know if he is stressed at work or if he can handle his new job, I have no clue what's going on cause he never talks to me about it, everytime I ask how things are going I get the thumbs up but somedays I wonder....
Well today is free food day @ applebees for vets, wonder if we are going to go or not, suppose to have a double date with our new friends Joni (who did my hair for Forrest & Mandy's wedding) and her hubby Lamot (that works with hubby). They are really fun people to be around, we go over and play rock band, watch football and just chat up and storm and hear funny shit that goes on at there work. Which is people I like to be around.
Bruce is quitting drinking, Eric is quitting drinking alot of people I know are quitting smoking/drinking which is great. People hubby and I enjoy being around =]
So just have to see how the rest of today goes, hope hubby gets back soon, I am getting worried.

Samhain Lore (October 31st)
Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means "End of Summer", and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat.
It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st. It is one of the two "spirit-nights" each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands. It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort.
Originally the "Feast of the Dead" was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the "wandering dead". Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos. The Wee Folke became very active, pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Traveling after dark was was not advised. People dressed in white (like ghosts), wore disguises made of straw, or dressed as the opposite gender in order to fool the Nature spirits.
This was the time that the cattle and other livestock were slaughtered for eating in the ensuing winter months. Any crops still in the field on Samhain were considered taboo, and left as offerings to the Nature spirits. Bonfires were built, (originally called bone-fires, for after feasting, the bones were thrown in the fire as offerings for healthy and plentiful livestock in the New Year) and stones were marked with peoples names. Then they were thrown into the fire, to be retrieved in the morning. The condition of the retrieved stone foretold of that person's fortune in the coming year. Hearth fires were also lit from the village bonfire to ensure unity, and the ashes were spread over the harvested fields to protect and bless the land.
Various other names for this Greater Sabbat are Third Harvest, Samana, Day of the Dead, Old Hallowmas (Scottish/Celtic), Vigil of Saman, Shadowfest (Strega), and Samhuinn. Also known as All Hallow's Eve, (that day actually falls on November 7th), and Martinmas (that is celebrated November 11th), Samhain is now generally considered the Witch's New Year.
Symbolism of Samhain:
Third Harvest, the Dark Mysteries, Rebirth through Death.
Symbols of Samhain:
Gourds, Apples, Black Cats, Jack-O-Lanterns, Besoms.
Herbs of Samhain:
Mugwort, Allspice, Broom, Catnip, Deadly Nightshade, Mandrake, Oak leaves, Sage and Straw.
Foods of Samhain:
Turnips, Apples, Gourds, Nuts, Mulled Wines, Beef, Pork, Poultry.
Incense of Samhain:
Heliotrope, Mint, Nutmeg.
Colors of Samhain:
Black, Orange, White, Silver, Gold.
Stones of Samhain:
All Black Stones, preferably jet or obsidian.

Fun Fun & Moar Fun!
It's been months of fun since hubby started his new job, every weekend we get when he's off work we play our D20 games with awesome friends like Kevin, Jason, Bruce and when Vince & Kim can make it and Mike one of hubbys old Army buddies when he is on leave. It's just been tons of fun.
This month is full of gaming but also hanging out with new friends (in between renovation work of course lol), the guys from hubbys work. We get together once in awhile and watch football, play guitar hero and rarely follows with some beer.... Not enough to get hammer'd but just enough to get a small buzz (3-4 beers) which is good for hubby & I. We are not heavy drinkers like we used to be cause well it causes problems.
I like having new friends and old friends and some friends we just like to keep out of our picture cause well they caused huge problems and they are not there anymore permanently, so yeah that's where they will stay for good cause we can't stand them.
This weekend is a Grad party for our one friend she's graduating hair dressing school, gratz girl! We are going to head over for a couple hours to say, "Hi" and have some good food & good company. But we are going to have to leave early cause hubby works a double the following day, which is understandable.
The 31st our best friends Forrest and Mandy are getting married so when hubby gets done work that day, off to PARTY some more.
Well housework and workouts done now to play AION! Til hubby gets home then it's biggest loser night AND movie night over dinner. <3

Updates !!
Well it's now October 19th, dang where is time going!
We have been so busy with renovation work & getting things ready for the house to go on the market come spring time has just been flying by! Hubby and his dad laid the concrete yesterday in the basement, the gravel truck should be coming this Saturday to even out the backyard driveway. That way all thats left come spring is the upper driveway & another coat on the deck.
The last of inside that will be done this fall/winter is the Kitchen and Basement, and last touches on the master bedroom so I can move our room back in there, which I can't wait the spare room we are in now is SO TINY I am starting to feel claustrophobic, Hubby and I have alot of work still ahead of us, lucky he gets 3 days off a week but we are ALWAYS busy those 3 days, either D20 fun with friends (if he's off on a weekend) or renovation work or just having us time & enjoying it very much!
But we need to get back to packing shit up, already one side of the basement has some stuff we packed, basement is actually looking like one now instead of a storage bin of old room-mate shit from ages ago. I just can't wait til we are done & we get a new house, which looks clearer and clearer everyday, I hope I can find one like I did when I was looking around to see what was out there, I found a 4bed 2bath for 45,000. It was built in 2003. Very nice too. To bad we where not looking when I found it lol. I am sure something will come up : )
I also bought hubby a early Christmas gift, the WHOLE I mean WHOLE Farscape series on DVD. I found it at a local store for a pretty penny lol. But it was worth it, he is so happy. : )
I have more doc app's coming up, OBGYN see what she says about getting prego soon probably gotta get the rest of this weight off which I am trying but been very frustrating as of late.
Forrest & Mandy are getting married on Halloween, got most of our Christmas shopping done, man again time is just flying by!
Well workout and housework is done time to play Aion til hubby gets home & then it will be movie/dinner time.

But we need to get back to packing shit up, already one side of the basement has some stuff we packed, basement is actually looking like one now instead of a storage bin of old room-mate shit from ages ago. I just can't wait til we are done & we get a new house, which looks clearer and clearer everyday, I hope I can find one like I did when I was looking around to see what was out there, I found a 4bed 2bath for 45,000. It was built in 2003. Very nice too. To bad we where not looking when I found it lol. I am sure something will come up : )
I also bought hubby a early Christmas gift, the WHOLE I mean WHOLE Farscape series on DVD. I found it at a local store for a pretty penny lol. But it was worth it, he is so happy. : )
I have more doc app's coming up, OBGYN see what she says about getting prego soon probably gotta get the rest of this weight off which I am trying but been very frustrating as of late.
Forrest & Mandy are getting married on Halloween, got most of our Christmas shopping done, man again time is just flying by!
Well workout and housework is done time to play Aion til hubby gets home & then it will be movie/dinner time.
Harvest Revel - Halloween Event! AION!
During the fall harvest, from time immemorial, the people of Atreia have celebrated the bounty of the land. Years ago, the joy of the annual revels was troubled by an eclipse - a peculiar and magical eclipse that brought darkness to Asmodae and Elysea. Ever since, for days during Harvest Revel, the sky goes dark and the peoples of Atreia join the hunt.
Asmodians find soothing peace during the dark days of the Harvest Revel. They celebrate by racing after the Wild Kurthanir hunt leader during the Wild Hunt and cooking special traditional dishes.
Elyos endure the dark days because during them the dead of Elysea are restless. Undead creatures rise from the grave every few hours, pulled back into a semblance of life by the power of the eclipse. Elyos must join roving Dark Night bands to hunt and destroy the undead before they invade Elyos villages.
Log in each day during Harvest Revel. Celebrate with us and every day rewards your investment with new Aion lore and tasty treats!
Harvest Revel
Begin: October 25, 2009
End: October 31, 2009
May your wings be strong and swift! We'll see you in Atreia!

The bitch has returned
I said if people can't keep there promises to me, the bitch will be back
Well guess what....
The bitch has returned
Some days I dunno if I even wanna have kids or lose the weight anymore, it's a dream of mine ya but I just dunno anymore. Today I just feel worthless & not good enough, I assume they are two different things heh. But I don't feel like me today, I started thinking about my Grandparents today & how much I miss them, how much I want to call them and say HI but I know I wont hear there voices again now that they are both gone =o(
My day started out ... It was okay
Then shit hit the fan.....
~ Facebook wont load/work (thxfully I know it's not my end)
~ Cat puked on the CLEAN SHEETS I just washed yesterday
~ Browsed though my history folder, shows I can't trust anyone on my fucking computer
~ Now not in any mood to do housework/workout
~ My self esteem went down a few 1000s of notches
~ Remind myself no more video buying FOR AGES
~ Hubby gets no Allowance til the new year
Among one thing after another, I do hope hubby is having a better day then I am.... I also logged into City of Heroes yesterday cause of the free weekend/double xp thing.... yeah bored with it still.... no teams where going on, quiet and of course the usual sillyness, I think people that break promises are bringing out the bitch in me for good.
Tonight is my soon to be sis in laws bridal party, I am not going either.

45lbs Gone!!
Well hubby just got done 2 days off & we had a BLAST!
Watching movies, getting things cleaned up & renovation wise stuff, errands, lunch together, etc etc TONS OF FUN!
ALSO!
As of today 45lbs GONE!
I probably could of done more but I know I slipped up quite a bit with Grandma passing and me being very upset I couldn't make the funeral I know she would understand but still I ate junk food galore for a couple days and didn't watch my carb/cal count. I am still upset and sad shes gone but I need to get on track, we wanna start a family & have a big family so well you know!
I started seeing a new doctor too, he has me eating whatever just whole grain no giving up bread, pasta and rice and potatoes like that other doctor, but I have to keep it in moderation of course. I had fries the other day (small) from a diner we go to, with a turkey Ruben let me tell you YUMMMMMMMY! I forgot how good it tasted! Had Chinese while back to watched my counts of course, but had some Lo Mein YUM! lol. Feels great to eat this stuff again and lose the weight too! I hope this keeps up! *knock on wood* And things will go alright with my test results cause I hope by the new year or next spring we get the go ahead on starting a family, it would be great... selling this house for a bigger one, get the okay to start a family, be absolutely awesome! Here is to hoping!
Well as of today 55lbs to my goal of 150lbs but according to the weight/height chart it's saying my max ideal weight is 130-145.... I will just have to see what my doc and my OBGYN says. I did 15 miles on my bike in 45 mins the other day, have to see what I can do today.
I wanna get back in shape and fit like I was 10 years ago... I used to be skinny Minnnie but I had some muscle curves cause I hit the gym ALOT but I don't wanna go back to being that thin but muscle wise is good but that was to thin waist wise ... After I quit smoking (9 years ago) I gained 110lbs... junk food and fast food was my friend for cravings I gained that weight in about 6 - 12 months, having a ex-boyfriend who was lazy as fuck didn't help matters as well as friends that where on the big side too. Now time to get on track not just for me but hubby and our future kids so we can all have a long life together ^_^
Also having the support & encouragement from all you friends has been a awesome help too, thank you!! I love you guys! <3

Heartbroken....
No other words describe how I feel right now, these feelings been eating me alive for almost a month now, I miss Grandpa & Grandma so much it hurts. I wish I could pick up the phone & call just to say, "Hi" knowing deep down hearing there voice would make me happy but all I can hear at the other end is dial tone knowing I will never hear there voices again only though the memories that flood my head daily. The blanket that sits on the back of my chair still smells like there home, knowing in time that smell will fade I wish it wouldn't.
As I sit here sleepless as my tears blind my sight, listening to my husband snore getting rest for the both of us I wonder to myself if he is truly happy, he says he is but some days I wonder, I don't dought my own husband I just know deep down he is like me, wanting the family we both dream of, but as of this moment it isn't possible due to my health condition and some days I feel as if I have failed him, I know in time I will get better and lose the weight I need to, bring my insulin down and be on track. But when is the question I ask myself, sure I have lost almost 42lbs in almost 6 months (as of the 21st) but to me that isn't enough, I push hard everyday to hard some days to the point where I know it hurts my body physically. It's hard knowing we been married almost 5 years and no children have entered our lives as of yet. I know Grandma always told me your time will come just wait, but the thing is I am almost 28 he is almost 34, I just wonder if we will start to feel to old before our chance comes, and I don't want that reason I push more everyday. I see friends, family around me getting pregnant for the first time, second, sometimes 3rd or 4Th, I get so jealous and frustrated, feeling left out, as I've failed, failed the one I love with all my heart, I do know I have the best husband in the world & he is everything to me.
But It hurts, when will these pains go away.....

Thoughts, Feelings & Updates...
Wow, been awhile since I updated, guess I should do this more often. But kind of hard when life is so busy. Hubby started a new job back in May more pay + 100% medical for him and I and whatever kids we have when the time comes, which is great!
March 2009 I got diagnosed with high insulin, not high enough to be diabetic but high enough that my body was having a period 24/7 & telling me to get things on track with diet and exercise. I started out at 51 inch waist & 250lbs, yeah ouch, I didn't realize. I quit smoking over 9 years ago, I still couldn't believe I was so big, having a ex-boyfriend who was over weight before I met hubby didn't help I know that much and the fact cause he ate out pretty much all the time. When hubby and I met back in late winter 2005 I didn't think I was that big cause I was starting to exercise after my ex went to work, I weighed about 205lbs or so. So I thought anyways, I know I gained weight since cause I got comfortable, to comfortable that happens with everyone. Well here I am almost 6 months after being diagnosed and 42lbs lighter and 14 inches gone. Only thing is til things get under control and I lose (to my goal) 58 more lbs then hopefully I can get the OK to start trying for a family, which I want the OK come my birthday or Christmas only thing I want this year really.
Which brings me to my next bit of updates, August 2009 Grandma broke her hip they put the pins in and gave her meds to help the pain. I thought things where going to be OK. Turns out she wouldn't eat, tossed her hearing aid to the floor, same with her glasses and said, " I just want to be with Grandpa." As soon as I heard this from my Aunt it broke my heart into a million pieces. I love my Grandmother she is more like a mother as my Grandfather is more like a father to me. They are everything to me. Days went by where I was paying the bills hoping to squeeze money from somewhere. Ever since hubby started his new job money had been a little tight not a bunch just to the point we where not getting much back into savings cause our savings we did have went to his new gear, which was fine. Bills where getting paid so that was fine. But deep down I knew Grandma would understand why I wasn't there. My father in law offered to pay part of a bus ticket but I just couldn't he was/is going though some stuff of his own. Few more days passed then our phone started to get weird lines crossing, static, annoying. Some reason I knew in my heart something was about to happen, sure enough my Uncle Gary called to say Grandma had passed away. I could barley hear him because of the static but I knew what he had said. My heart broke, shattered into a million pieces, I am slowly still picking up the pieces to this day. It's been very hard. But I know she is where she wanted to be, with Grandpa.
Other then that things are still on the go with renovation work, doing pretty good, father in law and I got the outside trim painted, hubby and I got the basement half way cleaned up, got some stuff tossed out to big item pickup, living room finished, spare room finished, master bedroom is close just need some paint on the ceiling, new ceiling fan, new closet doors and we can move our stuff back in there. Kitchen and driveway and basement are the last of things with a bit of odds and ends, we should be ready to go come spring and put the house up so we can buy a bigger one, this one is to small for a family.
Other then that I started beta testing/playing a new online game, "Aion" It's a fantasy MMO. I tried getting back into City of Heroes but I just can't after 5.5 years I have gotten very burned out, new updates look cool but I am ready for a change.
I am very tired these past few weeks, I think I am coming down with a cold or something, but at the same time I feel very unattractive and just want to be left alone. It might have to do with the weight loss I don't know. I just can't wait for Aion to start so I can get some of this stress off my shoulders and kill things in a online game to release stress and anger. Doesn't help when people poke at me to do things I already know and have on my list of things to do, reason I snap sometimes, very frustrating. I just can't wait til we move and this headache is over with all this renovation crap. I just want to say ENOUGH!

Dear Grandma
Dear Grandma,
I wish I could be there, to say my good-bye's, words can't describe how I feel right now, tears and sadness that fills my heart, but at the same time the warm memories and happiness. But I know deep in my heart you understand and I understand you are where you wanted to be, with Grandpa.
Growing up the first six years of my life I will never forget, they where the best first six years of my life, you and Grandpa had taught me so many things how to share, how to love, grow and be happy and so much more. After I had left your home I knew I wasn't happy anymore I wanted to go back and be with you. But I knew in my heart things happened for a reason and God had a plan for me, you and Grandpa had taught me that.
Over the years that had passed even when we couldn't be together I knew you and Grandpa where always there for me, a phone call away, picking up a pen and paper and writing one another, or a car ride away. You both had always had been there for me no matter what, whenever I needed you and you needed me we knew how to find one another.
To this day, to me you are my parents the Mother and Father I have always dreamed about and wanted in life, reason I am proud to call you Mom and Dad as you both where always proud to call me your daughter, "The only daughter you had after five boys" you would tell me and everyone around us. But now I know you both are watching over our family, and me making sure I stay a good girl, as you would always say to me "Be a good girl Tina, stay out of trouble", I hope I can continue to make you both proud and stay out of trouble, be that good girl, and you know, I plan on it.
Just know Joel and I love and miss you both very much. You have both touched our hearts and will remain in our hearts, forever. Til the day we are all together again. We love you Mom and Dad. Thanks for everything you have taught me and always being there for me, I wouldn't be who I am today without your love and guidance.
Tina & Joel
I wish I could be there, to say my good-bye's, words can't describe how I feel right now, tears and sadness that fills my heart, but at the same time the warm memories and happiness. But I know deep in my heart you understand and I understand you are where you wanted to be, with Grandpa.
Growing up the first six years of my life I will never forget, they where the best first six years of my life, you and Grandpa had taught me so many things how to share, how to love, grow and be happy and so much more. After I had left your home I knew I wasn't happy anymore I wanted to go back and be with you. But I knew in my heart things happened for a reason and God had a plan for me, you and Grandpa had taught me that.
Over the years that had passed even when we couldn't be together I knew you and Grandpa where always there for me, a phone call away, picking up a pen and paper and writing one another, or a car ride away. You both had always had been there for me no matter what, whenever I needed you and you needed me we knew how to find one another.
To this day, to me you are my parents the Mother and Father I have always dreamed about and wanted in life, reason I am proud to call you Mom and Dad as you both where always proud to call me your daughter, "The only daughter you had after five boys" you would tell me and everyone around us. But now I know you both are watching over our family, and me making sure I stay a good girl, as you would always say to me "Be a good girl Tina, stay out of trouble", I hope I can continue to make you both proud and stay out of trouble, be that good girl, and you know, I plan on it.
Just know Joel and I love and miss you both very much. You have both touched our hearts and will remain in our hearts, forever. Til the day we are all together again. We love you Mom and Dad. Thanks for everything you have taught me and always being there for me, I wouldn't be who I am today without your love and guidance.

Words Can't describe how I feel right now only the tears that roll down my cheeks. Just after 2pm today I got the call, Grandma passed away =(
I am broken and shattered into a million pieces right now I feel part of me is empty as for the other feelings I just can't feel right now. Id call friends and family right now but the phone is broke.
I want to go out tonight and have a quiet dinner with hubby....
After Grandma broke her hip they put pins in but she wouldn't eat, they tired a feeding tube but all they got was blood, Grandma didn't want her hearing aid or glasses all she kept saying is she wanted to be with grandpa. Grandpa Passed away December 27Th 2007 @ the age of 93, Today August 5Th 2009 Grandma passed @ the age of 93.
It's been hard, I love and miss them both ... I am proud to call them Mom & Dad.

Progress!
According to my doctors scale and such I have lost 11.5 inches total in my waist, 31lbs gone in 16.5 weeks, fat is down another 3.3 points in 2 months, muscle is up 1.6 in 2 months, BMI was in the 40s 4 months ago now its down to a 36.5, PROGRESS! More to come soon!
I hate how I let myself go the last 9 years after I quit smoking by using junk food to control cravings and got lazy to top things off, plus being with a ex boyfriend for almost 5 of those years the lazy SOB. Ah well I have what I want in life and as soon as I get more weight off it will be baby time!! Hubby & I can't wait!! ^_^

A Little Something I Wrote....
Thursday I just couldn't sleep and I wrote this for hubby <3
It's now after 11pm, Thursday I think it's the 17Th of July (2009)
I just can't sleep toninght or spell for that fact & fuck it I am not going to scribble it out and fix it either. (typing just the way I wrote it lol)
I just have alot on my mind 90% of it has to do with my insulin and weight loss. I am hoping things are getting on track to be normal again
- My insulin levels
- My weight
All I really really want this year for my birthday and Christmas is those things and to have a baby with hubby, I understand we can always adopt but I want that glow and feeling of a life (or 2 or more) growing inside me, knowing we created someone, someone special, someone that is part of each of us someone that will be loved by both of us and our families.
But I seriously........
Well its the only 3 things I want this year for Christmas/Birthday
I am pushing hard to get to my goal some days its frustrating but I know I will get there.
I sit and listen now to the quiet
- The light snores of hubby
- the fans
- the cats walking along the floor
So peaceful & quiet
I know it will change when I get pregnant :P and when the kids will be born. But I will enjoy it now before that happens.
I know I need to sleep.
I need to get up in the morning and make my honey breakfast which I will.
His lunch is made and the coffee maker is set so that's a plus
I wonder if he will read this
His thoughts on it If he will say anything or maybe write something?
I dunno
I can tell my handwriting has got worse over the years because I am used to typing. Ah well :P
I just wanna give hubby the family hes been dreaming about and wanting I have those same dreams and wants too. It's just you know as a women wanting to make my man happy anyway possible.
Having healthy babies
Having a healthy family
Keeping him & I healthy to live a long life together til we grow old as ancient trees and forget how we met. (He wrote that to me in a old letter from when we first got married lol)
It's all we both want
I know that
Knew that when we talked online
Reasons of a few why I fell in love with him and he fell in love with me
He is my soul mate
my best friend
my lover
my husband
and so much more
(same with him but I am a wife lol)
I love him so much and always will
I think my guilt has finally gone away from a couple years ago when we where having some problems.
I was stupid back then
Very stupid
Hubby is snoring up a storm tonight Slayer came to sit with me lol
He is glaring off into the bedroom @ hubby.
Guess the snoring bugged him.
Maybe I should try and sleep now. I just felt like writing something tonight.
Hmm... think Ill type is tomorrow then some and now a drink of water then try and sleep...
33lbs down
67 to my goal
I love you JoelB
Your wife always

God's & Goddess' & Karma
One must think before they act, Karma can be a good or bad thing depending how you look at it.
The Gods and Goddess' keep a eye on such things.
If someone talks bad about someone & something & the gods & goddess don't agree, does something to hurt another person & the gods & goddess don't agree, if you do something wrong & the gods & goddess don't agree, the list goes on....
If they don't agree with your actions it will come back at you 3 times fold, Ive been here and done this many times to count, all you can do is learn from your actions and apologize and not do it again. If you continue to do bad bad things happen if you change and do good good things happen, it's the circle of life and Karma.
One also must make up for past mistakes by doing good, changing there ways.
Speaking of changing, I know I am not perfect, no one is and if everyone was perfect this would be a really boring world and life. (Yes posted part of this convo before but doing it again)
Hubby and I got into a conversation about a change recently:
Me: Hey babe, do you think I am trying to change you?
Him: Have you been taking those stupid online quizzes again?
Me: no no, seriously I read a comment on a blog that I am trying to change you and your letting me do it...
Him: Ya so if I didn't want to change I wouldn't of married you, I gotta change my ways of being single and I am going to change cause I want to and it is for the best, for us and our kids.
Me: Ya I know I just was really upset about it
Him: Don't be who cares? who gives a shit! Seriously!
Me: Okay
Him: I love you and nothing will change that even when we are old and grey
Me: I love you too and ya when we are teaching the grandkids how to play D&D right?
Him: Of course!
Me: *giggle* Dork :P
Him: Mrs Dork, you married me!
Me: I did and what are you gonna do about it
Him: nothing but maybe.... *tickle fight*
Me/Him: *repeated laughing & screaming*
......... So yeah change is always good :)
So if one is rude mean and ignorant and the list goes on....... things are bad...... CHANGE!
So if one is nice kind honest and the list goes on..... don't change!
If your a mix of both life will have its ups and downs and make life interesting
I know I am both as is hubby :)
The Gods and Goddess' are watching you and watching out for others expecally those you want to or try and hurt !

Updates!
Well time for a update or 2 or 3 !
Maybe more!
Well as most know life has turned around here, things are working out great, we are getting the house ready to be sold by the new year, I hope it goes quick because we want to get our new bigger house.
Weight loss: Going awesome! 31 lbs lost now and 12 inches on my waist, hopefully by the time we get into our new house things will be on track and in order and we can start our family!
Hubby's days off if we are not working on house reno stuff we are gaming with our awesome friends or just hanging out just the 2 of us and relaxing over movies or whatever.
We are happy with the way things are, well I could use the more weight loss and insulin down but that is coming along I am sure.
Well I am gonna go back to cleaning up and watching my soaps.

I Am A Universal Person!
You are a perfect balance of everything. You've gone through a fair share of things and you are able to put yourself in other peoples shoes. You are caring and understanding. You are fun and warm to be around. You tend to help people. You know what it is like to be at an all time low and you know how to deal with things. You consider all of your friends to be "good friends. You are kinda like the Goldie Locks of personalities. The things you do are practical, but sensitive to whom it would affect. You are at ease with yourself, and have spent a good deal of time finding yourself, and now that you have, you've finally bloomed into something beautiful.

Updates of Life & Food Diary
I have my food diary for today already cause If i eat anything else I thinks I am gonna blow up.....
Breakfast:
2 celery stalks with peanut butter (3 carbs)
water
Lunch
Chinese Buffet!
Chicken, meatballs (6), 2 pieces of broccoli, more chicken, pork, chicken & mushrooms, cheese, chicken & jalapenos prolly all in all I dunno how many carbs..... not many since it was a ton of meat!
Diet Pepsi with lemon
I don't think I am gonna eat anything for the rest of the day cept maybe more peanut butter & celery late later tonight if anything if not just fill up on more water cause i been drinking gallons of that ! :)
Checked the scale this morning when I woke up, down 29lbs total now, pretty good for just over 3 months of work :)
This means I have 71lbs left to the goal I wanna do.
Today hubby and I also had a convo....
Me: Do you think I am controlling & trying to change you?
Hubby: Have you been taking those online stupid quiz things again?
Me: No... just something I read on a "friends" blog....
Hubby: Ya but so what, your my wife your allowed to do that, if I didn't wanna change who I am or bad habits of being single I wouldn't of married you 4.5 years ago, but that's what marriage is about.
Me: true there is somethings you wanted/want to change about me too and we are working together to do it right and yours?
Hubby: Yuppers, so don't worry about it who cares what others think.
Me: Thanks, I love you
Hubby: I love you too :)
I thought for awhile I was getting controlling or whatever because of something I read... but I am a wife guess I am allowed :P
I mean I am not HUGE controlling just well sure hubby's quitting smoking but hes wanted to do that for years I am just there to give him that extra bump, his whole family is smoke free but his brother and he is trying to quit too, and quit drinking.
So brother and brother work together, how cute! LOL!
Other then that, time to go to some cleaning on the basement, Father in law is banging away in the spare room putting the finishing touches on that room, Hubby just woke up at is gonna help me :)
When he goes to work later I think I am gonna play some city of heroes for once, then when he gets home in the morning hes gonna nap, get up we will work more on the basement then just R&R and finish watching Hogfather or Jack of All Trades, then back to the weekly grind.
He figures one or 2 overtime shifts a month will help us, he starts his 10hr days week after next so 2 days of reno work/seeing new houses etc etc and one day of gaming with friends :)
We need to get moving if we wanna get stuff done by spring, I know his dad is pushing us to get moving so time to do it ;)
EDIT: Well also had some homemade chocolate moose tonight and a small handful of nuts, equals my day out to 20 carbs total prolly.

Hubby: Ya but so what, your my wife your allowed to do that, if I didn't wanna change who I am or bad habits of being single I wouldn't of married you 4.5 years ago, but that's what marriage is about.
Me: true there is somethings you wanted/want to change about me too and we are working together to do it right and yours?
Hubby: Yuppers, so don't worry about it who cares what others think.
Me: Thanks, I love you
Hubby: I love you too :)
I thought for awhile I was getting controlling or whatever because of something I read... but I am a wife guess I am allowed :P
I mean I am not HUGE controlling just well sure hubby's quitting smoking but hes wanted to do that for years I am just there to give him that extra bump, his whole family is smoke free but his brother and he is trying to quit too, and quit drinking.
So brother and brother work together, how cute! LOL!
Other then that, time to go to some cleaning on the basement, Father in law is banging away in the spare room putting the finishing touches on that room, Hubby just woke up at is gonna help me :)
When he goes to work later I think I am gonna play some city of heroes for once, then when he gets home in the morning hes gonna nap, get up we will work more on the basement then just R&R and finish watching Hogfather or Jack of All Trades, then back to the weekly grind.
He figures one or 2 overtime shifts a month will help us, he starts his 10hr days week after next so 2 days of reno work/seeing new houses etc etc and one day of gaming with friends :)
We need to get moving if we wanna get stuff done by spring, I know his dad is pushing us to get moving so time to do it ;)
EDIT: Well also had some homemade chocolate moose tonight and a small handful of nuts, equals my day out to 20 carbs total prolly.

http://storm.ashidai.org/?p=7 ---> the post....
This is a "friends" blog, seems she posted it in the week after the weekend we invited them over for a BBQ. We invited them last minute, at first where just gonna have our usual gamer friends but after we found out that our friend died, we started inviting EVERYONE even our neighbours. Seems she still has beef with me or pretty jealous, who knows, comes off as both to me, and others.
Friends I think we are?
Let's start here... I dunno what kinda friends we are for one, never knew. Maybe in the beginning we where good friends or just friends period. Be honest I can't trust her, she's just got that feel to her, one min being one thing, next min someone else. Kinda feel I had with my last best friend who are not friends with me anymore kinda feel because she pretended to be alot of things, goth, punk, grunge, morbid, the list goes on...
She also seems so buddy buddy when we are around one another, hubby becomes happy cause we are getting along after all our differences Mamabear and I... yeah right I believe em to cause well who knows right? So who the hell knows where her mind set is... I thought we where becoming friends at least the kind to get along and chat now and again about anything.
Hubby and I had issues sure what marriage doesn't... we got over em. Now we can't get enough of one another ;)
Change her friend is the next thing...
Riiiiiiiiiiight.....
I am not trying to change him, he is changing himself.
I mentioned the smoking cause I was planning ahead thinking of our kids and his health, I mean his dad just lost a gf a few years ago to cancer, I don't think we wanna go though the same thing. We made a list of reasons to quit he said he wants to grow old with me and have LOTS of kids and be there for every part of there life and ours, we both see ourselves at 90 years old watching movies on dvd while the kids and grandkids have some new funky tech. :)
He doesn't want to drink anymore, he See's what it's been doing to his brother, and his brother's gf and there relationship, as well as he knows I hate drinking because my dad was a alcoholic.
HE IS WANTING TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
He wants to get his family started, cut out all the bad things in life and move on. He things saved up and in order, get life on track, his dream = FAMILY WITH ME!
8 times over the last 4 years....
Life changes, things change, people don't' come around as often, its a proven fact, people need to move on and get over it too, we will see you when we see you kinda thing, happens all the time, we invite people we don't see often to comicbook conventions or gaming conventions or over to visit, not our fault they don't wanna come.Reason hubby and I go everywhere together is I don't get out much as it is, I am home all day, hubby wants to take me places even if its down to the corner store, just so we can go out and do things and have fun. We don't' like going anywhere without one another and ya we are married. Hubby always tells me his fav part of the day is coming home and hanging out with me or D20 gaming with me and our friends. He couldn't ask for more :)
Everyone we know (cept a few) tell hubby how lucky he is to have me in his life and he agrees and there is ALOT of people who are jealous and they need to back off!
This curtain will not fall so people need to get that thought outta there head. When we got married 4.5 years ago we made sure this is the one and this is it, together forever and that is our plan, we love one another to much not to expecally after everything we been though its just made us stronger. :)
Well time to get my workout on, down to 222lbs finally 28lbs GONE BABY! Not bad for 3 months of work! 72lbs left! Hopefully!

I Am Not Stupid, Seriously! ... Part 2
Well since yesterday the Mr and I had a talk
He knows he was wrong, I went to the car and looked under the seat and yup a whole pack, I have them hiding now. He knows I got them, he knows it was wrong.
I hate fighting over little things like this, I mean when you are paying for smoke free stuff the deal is.... stay that way!
I understand it can be hard, been there done it myself, but this is a promise and choice one has made for him and myself and looking at the future also for our kids.
So that is the same with me, losing my quitting smoking weight, so let's keep on it together eh? That's the plan and let's stick to it, when we get moved into our new house next year hopefully it will be time to start a family, that's the plan. :)
I mean when you love someone more then enough you bend over backwards for one another, I mean I didn't expect him to change because I wanted him too, it's just I was thinking about his health, our kids health when that day comes, second hand smoke is more of a killer when it comes to smoking, expecally to babies, I was thinking of my health too but I was concerned about his and future kids. One habit of mine, always planning ahead.
His dad lost his girlfriend 2 or 3 years ago now to smoking, it was really sad. I watched her on some weekends while he was out. It made me miss hubby more and realize we needed to do something too. I want to grow old with him and I want us to be around for our kids weddings and grand kids being born and the whole thing, he is wanting to change because of those things most of all. We made a list of why he wants to quit and those where on it.
So for those of you who say otherwise, you don't know people as you think you do. We love one another very much, he says I am the best thing that's ever happened to him I feel the same, we have so much to live for and be together for, our hopes and dreams are coming together slow but sure. Before we got married 4.5 years ago, we made a promise no matter what this is where we are staying side by side always and forever so this curtain will NEVER fall. We mean to much to one another.
We go alot of places together since I am home 100% of the time when hubby goes places he takes me with him even if it is to the store, why? Cause I don't get out much and I don't have many friends around here. His friends are my friends and my friends are his. The friends he doesn't go see with me are Amy and Ms Gloria from when I worked at Bath & Body Works but getting together with them is once in a very long time, expecally now since Ms Gloria is back under kemo.
Once hubby goes to 4 days a week we will be spending alot of time on the house so his Dad can stop worrying about our time line and know we are getting things done, we will spend 2 days doing that and the other day gaming with friends. Other friends wonder why we don't come see them as much, it's because of the schedule difference, or because I know some people don't like me and you know what some people don't like hubby and I being together but guess what... TO BAD! That's the reason why those friends are not friends anymore to either of us.
Hubby has a few friends he has been friends with since he was 10 or so, so that's along time, they are like brothers to him and I think a friendship that long deserves a metal :)
Well on this note, workout is done, have some dishes to do, laundry to put away, think I am just gonna relax til hubby comes home, and we go buy him some more smoke free gum :)

I Am Not Stupid, Seriously!
Other day the Mr and I got into a argument due to him smoking again, he was doing great on the quitting thing, 6-8 months smoke free then our friend died, I could understand him starting up again reason I didn't say anything. But he came to me and said after the pack he had that was it. I said fine I didn't wanna fight about it cause I understood who what where when and why... you know?
Well me always screaming from the rooftops how proud I am of him for quitting, helping people in City of Heroes, facebook and other sites and giving them tips and telling them still how proud I am. I feel like I was blowing smoke out my ass now. I caught hubby yet again this past Sunday night, he clams it was only ONE, still our promise was I lose the weight I need to get prego he quits, simple right?
I been smoke free for 9 years, I know how the quitting thing goes. At the time I quit I was with someone who couldn't stand smoke and it made him sick, gave me WILLPOWER and all that stuffs. You think when someone or something means alot to you ... you get that WILLPOWER. Right?
Well after our little spite he tossed the rest of the pack in the trash but this is where the I am not stupid comes in... he took them OUT of the pack and put em in there so they had coffee grinds and other trash all over them, did I count em? Heck ya and I know a pack is 20, I counted 13 + the 2 he said he smoked is 15, the other 5? I know he is hiding em in the car under his seat, caught him this morning getting in the car and looking under the seat. He didn't know it but ya I was watching though the window, my mother/wife tingle went off. He tried to play it off but I am seriously not stupid, he is in for it when he gets home, he knows better.
I catch him again though all bets are off, I will flush my weight loss stuff down the toilet. I am so mad right now I don't care if we have kids or not. As much as I want kids it hurts like hell when people can't keep there promises.
Can I have the knife outta my chest nao?
Please?
k thx bi

Drop 10 lbs Without Even Trying!
Monday: Skip the Grande Vanilla Latte.
There's more than just a sugary jolt of caffeine to beat the Monday blues. Substitute with a brewed black coffee (without the sugar!) and save 250 calories (1,750 per week).
Tuesday: Spritz your salad.
Salads can be false friends: they seem healthy but become a caloric nightmare when loaded with dressing. Invest in an oil spritzer or try Hellman's salad spritzers and save 100 calories (700 per week).
Wednesday: Say no to mayo.
A sandwich is the easiest lunch to whip together, but gets weighed down with the fatty white spread. Replace with mustard – all the zip with zero fat. Save 100 calories (700 per week).
Thursday: Ditch the fat.
Stir-fry veggies with broth instead of oil (or even better, steam them) and save 115 calories (805 per week).
Friday: Add sparkle to your happy hour.
Don't let diets cramp your social style. Have a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry juice in lieu of your cosmo and save 90 calories (for two drinks).
Saturday: Walk your errands.
Slip walking into your busy schedule by breaking it down into 20-minute chunks. Walk to the market, take a stroll with your best gal pal or walk the dog. Burn 180 calories per hour (1,260 per week).
Sunday: Have a leaner brunch.
Try poached eggs instead of fried or scrambled and save 50 calories. Cut out another 60 cals by swapping your regular bacon with turkey bacon.
Note:
100 calories saved per day = lose about 1 pound a month
200 calories saved per day = lose about 2 pounds
500 calories saved per day = lose about 4 pounds
Control Your Portions.
Take one serving, and not a gigantic one! You can save serious calories by controlling your urge to go back for seconds or thirds.

When we got home put the groceries up and made a strawberry smoothie with vanilla yogert and 1 cup of diet cranberry juice (29 carbs total, dunno on cals)
Hubby drank half and I drank the other half so prolly 14.5 carbs total)
We then went to our friends place and went to free RPG day, walk walk walk walk some more..... lots of walking. lol.
Lunch ~ We went to CiCi's $4.99 all you can eat pizza/salad buffet
I usually just do the salad and ask for a crust less pizza, not this time! I went all out, Salad bar was crappy looking so I went and ate pizza (with crust) ya I know bad me....
When we got back to our friends for RPG gaming and a round of KILLER BUNNIES we had pop (I stuck with my diet like a good girl) and chips, had a bowl full roughly, BAD I KNOW!
I am paying for it now, gotta work extra hard to get off any weight gain now lol, I don't even wanna look at the scale, seriously!

Give Up... Or Not....
Today has been funny, some days I just get so frustrated when it comes to this diet and weight loss thing, one day I jump on the scale Ive lose a pound, next day its back or sometimes 2 are back. Next day after they are gone, wtf is up with that? Seriously.... can the weight STAY OFF and can I please PLEASE LOSE MORE! .... or other times I am stuck on a crap ass plateau that wont go away... It's very frustrating!
I stick to my diet to a T 99.9% of the time that .01 % was the times like... I found out my friend died I had pizza and potato salad (Not all at once, that was over 3 days) when I was on my last plateau I had crab Rangoon but I baked it not deep fried and it was homemade and surprising after that I dropped 2lbs... They say, "If your on a Plateau eat filling foods like grains and fruits" Ya sure easy for you to say only time I can eat that is before my workout and even then I don't want to touch the grain stuff cause I am scared of gaining the weight back. Fruit though is easy but only having it before my workout has been a challenge cause I LOVE FRUIT! I make smoothies with fresh fruit and sometimes yogurt before my workout too LOVE THEM!
After my workout its all about eggs, cheese (which I am getting sick of makes me sick to my stomach anymore) and meats (which I LOVE!) and veggies ...... salads yup good to go there I could eat those all the time too. Just have to watch the ones I eat. Usually green veggies are lower in carbs then anything.
Drink wise I drink green tea and alot of it, 2L of it or more a day, I bought so much of it to begin with. Crystal light I have tons too, sometimes Ill mix the lemonade with the green tea when my sweet tooth hits cause I don't put any sugar or splenda in the tea to start with.
Reason I am typing this blog/note is I need to rant and get my frustrating thoughts out.
I really wish I did have a workout buddy, Ive asked hubby to join me for a walk outside on weekends but he doesn't want too, during the week I can understand cause he is working. But just a hour walk on weekends would be awesome or join me for a round on the Biggest Loser DVDs.... I mean my friend Jen wont be back til Aug, Jill next door is leaving town soon because she is getting married, Mandy lives 30Min's away, other friends are not close by, or have jobs and work alot. Some days I just can't do it myself, I have awesome support from online friends and I love it and I love them!
Some days I do wanna go for a walk but I get paranoid going alone, I hate being by myself plus ya sometimes I worry what others think etc, Ive always been like that.
I think I know what I need to do seriously... I need to get hubby on the same diet as me, I will make him sweets and goodies every now and then but seriously some days when hes eating pretzels or pasta or rice or cookies (WITH CHOCOLATE - my weakness) or all the good stuff YA I GET JEALOUS AS HELL! I will amit that lol. Seriously! Sometimes I wanna cry cause I want a cookie or a piece of chocolate, I have the willpower I do but when it comes to that time of the month, I usually sometimes don't.... 5% of the time I don't!
I just really want to get this weight off, can I get liposuction please, kidding but I seriously wish sometimes, I do need a breast lift my girls give me back issues expecally when working out, hurts to run and kills my back. I don't know how things work here in the US but I know when I lived back home in Canada if they are giving you problems they do the surgery's for free, couple of my friends are having it done or going to get it done. Should ask my doctor maybe there is something here in the US I don't know about.
I know I know if some of my guy friends are reading this TMI eh, sorry but I need to get this out. Forgive me! lol.
I know I been doing well on this diet, I just hope my insulin levels are coming down. I am glad and happy I am not diabetic! It will be 3 months on the 21st and so far I have lost 27lbs and 10-12 inches on my waist. Which is great I know that but I guess I just want things to go faster. I am not hungry all the time like I used to be which is great, not as tired even more great, tons of energy ... awesome. Just some days I feel like I wanna scream! I want to have someone I can talk to all the time sure I can email my doctor but I feel like if I do everyday, she's gonna think I am nuts. She probably wont but still it's the way I feel I know she is busy and I don't want to bug her all the time, you know? I know she's probably going to read this too since I am connected to her though FB, which is fine. :) I know i need to stop jumping on the scale everyday too, that's another problem. I am so obsessed with losing weight too, I really want one of those body bug armbands but I don't have $250-300 laying around not yet and I don't want to spend that much!
I think I am done ranting for now, I need to figure out dinner, maybe play some Final Fantasy X while waiting for hubby to get home from work..... 2.5 hrs from now.... If I need to rant more I will be back! =)
Thanks for listening/reading for those of you who are doing so :)

The New SuperFoods
10 more nutrient-rich foods that will change your life and keep you feeling full on less
By Samra Habib (found on yahoo news!)
1. Mushrooms
Loaded with antioxidants, riboflavin, selenium and other nutrients that keep the immune system healthy and help stave off cancer. Sneak it in: Add to onions, garlic and thyme to make stock for risotto.
2. Kale
Rich with antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, kale is also thought to help lower risk of arthritis, as well as ovarian and breast cancers with sulphur-containing phytonutrients. Sneak it in: Use in winter soups and hearty pasta dishes.
3. Spirulina
With more iron than beef and more protein than soy, this algae is the only plant source of vitamin B12. Sneak it in: Add spirulina powder to breakfast smoothies and dips.
4. Cranberry
Compared to other fruits such as grapes and strawberries, cranberries have the highest level of phenols – an oxidant that decreases the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. Sneak it in: Add zest to your dinner with cranberry relish.
5. Kefir
Ideal if you're lactose intolerant, this cultured milk product delivers antibiotic properties, protein, minerals and vitamin B. Sneak it in: Use in place of yogurt with granola and berries.
6. Ground Salba
This ancient grain provides 8x more omega-3s than salmon, 25% more dietary fibre than flaxseed, 30% more antioxidants than blueberries, 7x more vitamin C than an orange... get the picture? Sneak it in: Sprinkle in cereal, smoothies, pasta dishes and salads.
7. Eggs
Cholesterol Shmolesterol. Egg yolks are loaded with choline, which is proven to help combat breast cancer. Sneak it in: Crumble a hard-boiled egg over your favourite salad.
8. Cherries
High in phytochemicals (plant chemicals that have disease preventative properties), cherries may also reduce inflammation. Sneak it in: Forget about sneaking! Just grab a handful as an afternoon snack.
9. Pistachios
Studies show these slow the rate of carbohydrate absorption and contain the fibre, protein and monounsaturated fat you need. Sneak it in: Use them in pesto in place of pine nuts.
10. Beets
Beets are high in folic acid and contain betacyanine, which is an antioxidant that gives beets their rich, red colour. Sneak it in: Add to your fave salad.
